Implement 'Mailbox' System?

[microbuilder]

A request that has come up numerous times on the forum is getting Bluefruit LE modules talking to each other. This isn't possible with the peripheral only stack we are using, but one possible approach is implementing a mailbox type system on the central device, and assigning each peripheral a unique address.

Peripherals send data to the central using either a 'broadcast address' (0xFFFF?) meaning every node connected to the central will get the message (you can use it as a ping request), or send a message to a specific node (0x0001..0xFFFE) and only that node will get it if connected (or maybe later if queueing is enabled?).

The problem here is that the current app is design for single peripheral connections, so I'm not sure if we can accomodate multiple peripherals in the current UI, or if something like this would have to be a different app?

Filing this as a 'maybe' item for the wishlist for now until we have more time to properly evaluate the idea.

Closing as won't implement for now. Can reopen later if deemed necessary.
